The Fine Print

This blog post title describes how I've been feeling lately ;-) The downside of my weekend traveling is missing so many guild Sew Days (not very presidential of me) which also means missing out on much needed friend time.

Happily, a friend came over the other night so we could chat and sew. Well, she sewed and I cut. Hope worked on hand stitching the binding of two gorgeous table runners. We were too busy talking about our perfect children solving the world's problems to take pictures though. Maybe she will email me some pictures to share.

I put my AccuQuilt and circle die to good use and now have plenty of circles in denim, corduroy and plaids for a few projects on my to-do list. These plaids are just a sampling from that great stash gifted to me by Sara.

I've been hoarding old jeans for a long time and recently saw this quilt that I'd like to make (and this one and this one). I decided to make a sample mini quilt before diving into the charity quilt I have in mind. (This way I can also link up to Amanda Jean's finish it Friday and Amy'sSew and Tell Friday since my big project is still being quilted.)

Glad I did, because I'm not really feeling this. Next time I will quilt it differently, and maybe that will help.

The cute backing fabric is a gift from Shelly. Love the cowboy fabric with the denim! This mini may or may not end up as a Priority: Alzheimer's quilt....we'll see.
